I still remember going to that game expecting the Tigers to lose. I was 12 and didn't really follow football much outside of going to games, but I knew that UF ALWAYS beat LSU.

I could have sworn that the two teams traded players. I remember thinking in the 4th that UF would somehow come back, but I was wrong.

It was amazing to get to see the goal posts torn down. The crowd carried a post and kept thrusting it in the direction of the UF band as they continued to play. It was unsettling yet gratifying all at once.

Still the greatest LSU game I've ever attended. I remember being completely EXHAUSTED at the end of it. Oh, and I was sitting in the student section right near the Golden Band. I wish I had taken my camera. But I DID save a newspaper from the next day that I still have right here with me. 1997 seems like just yesterday.................

quote:quote: I was 12 and didn't really follow football much Does not compute.

Let me explain:

1) Didn't have the same type of access to info on the Internet 2) Wasn't reading the paper much 3) Grew up in Biloxi, Ms before the arrival of LSU bandwagoners. 4) Only one TV in the house, and we didn't get to watch much. Thus lack of ESPN.

While I went to nearly every home game I just follow the Tigers much outside of what my dad would talk about.
